Under construction

I am in the studio working like a banshee preparing for my june 6th show at Andenken. I am in the process of completing 11 pieces for this show. All are lightboxes based on my experiences in different cities around the world. I will be showing with Mandy Ploegsma and Scott Lefavor. It's gonna be an amazing show. I can't tell you how good it is to be back at it. It's been too long. Please attend this show if you can.

Schwitters

Kurt Schwitters is one of my favorite artists. I could never ever in a million years afford an original, but thanks to Ebay I found a couple of vintage gallery catalogs, one is from italy and the other is from Japan both are from the 1950s. I got both catalogs for about thirty dollars which is sweet.

New issue of ZigZag out

Found this gem in the record store. So sweet. So apparently Devo is not going to be as huge as we thought And Sid Vicous is back on the smack but Johny Lydon's new band PIL is pretty awesome.

Found

I thought I had lost this piece it was in storage at the old Andenken and when Hyland moved to the new location he found it. It needed a little upkeep but it works fine kind of a cool sound piece. It's the chasis of a very old car radio. It's called Prospects for democracy.

We had a cool snowy night Friday and I actually had my camera with me.
